It gives us terrific roles for actors we already know. There's Allison Williams, best known for the HBO show "Girls;" Catherine Keener, who's been in everything from "Being John Malkovich" to "The 40-Year-Old Virgin;" and Bradley Whitford, who's received numerous awards for his roles in "The West Wing" and "Transparent."

The movie also gives us some more obscure — but no less talented — actors who are on the rise. With the critical acclaim and popularity of "Get Out," you'll be hearing these names a lot more.

Daniel Kaluuya plays Chris, the movie's lead role.

Kaluuya's coming-of-age experience in the entertainment industry was in the British version of the TV series "Skins." He played Posh Kenneth, and he also wrote for the series. After the show, he bounced around British television, guest-starring in shows like "Silent Witness" and "Doctor Who."

2011 was the beginning of Kaluuya's breakout. He starred in the "Fifteen Million Merits" episode of "Black Mirror," considered one of the best of the series. When Netflix picked up the series, his face became more familiar to audiences in the United States, including Jordan Peele, who saw him and cast him in "Get Out."

"What's happened is that 'Black Mirror' has come out on Netflix. Jordan said he watched that and he really just thought of me for the role," Kaluuya told Interview magazine.

Milton "Lil Rey" Howery is the reason the movie isn't just clever — it's really, really funny. He plays Rod, a TSA agent and Chris's best friend, and the only black person Chris can confide in during the movie.

Howery is a rising stand-up comedian from Chicago. He's a writer, producer, and regular actor in the sketch comedy show "Friends of the People," and he's a co-star in "The Carmichael Show." Last year, Netflix picked up his hour-long stand-up comedy special, "Kevin Hart Presents: Lil Rel: RELevent."

Stanfield played Andre Hayworth, otherwise known as "Logan," in "Get Out." He's already an experienced actor in independent films, starting with the critically acclaimed "Short Term 12" in 2013, which got him nominated for a slew of awards, and a year later in "Selma."

Stanfield also memorably played Snoop Dogg in "Straight Outta Compton" and had small roles in "Miles Ahead" and "Snowden."
